Do you think if parents encouraged their children they would become "little proffessors"?

I feel that my life has been one disappointment after the other, my parents have NEVER encouraged me in anything and my mind just clicked open one day and now I find I turned from a known geek into a real geek or nerd.

I find that i am interested in maths, pysics and chemistry - I have a passion for it now!

But I don't think I did good at school and for gods sake and I'm turning into a "krelboyne" fast! I find I'm bored in class alot and want to advance further!

My body just changed!

And when I look back I see that I have wasted my life!

Is it too late?

I'm 15.

Answer:
no one told me i was good at anything or clever when i was at school, parents just didnt think they needed to tell me isuppose. Im 30 something (!!) just got a masters degree and am enrolling on to a doctor of education course this year. moral of the story is - dont wait to be told how good you are, because deep down you know you're not stupid, and the payment for being a geeky nerd who's clever is a damn good job which pays well over the minimum wage - good luck honey
of course its not too late ur only 15, just get ur head down at school in time for your gcse's and work ur **** off then go alevels, a degree, a masters and a phd if you want to be a professor...good luck with everything, youre certainly not too late :)
oh please, quit the whining! You're 15.
It is not to late! I was in the same boat as a teen. If you are good at it and like it ( as long as it is a positive- legal thing) DO it! You have your whole life ahead of you.
Does your school offer advanced classes? You might want to talk to your guidance counselor and see what options you have. My daughter is bored to but when she is in Jr. High she can start skipping grades and take pre-college courses if she wants to. Keep your chin up!
Yeah, you're 15, over the hill. It's all over now, you might just as well pack it in. Too late now. You're done. (Since you're only 15, I will point out that the previous lines were sarcasm.)

I'm glad to see you finally woke your butt up and decided that you are the master of your own life and not your parents or anyone else. A lot of people were not encouraged by their parents, just like you, or perhaps, they weren't listening like you might not have been.

Consider this, you are 15 years old, you didn't mention that you were starving so I assume you are not. You didn't mention that you were homeless but implied you lived with your parents so assume you have a place to stay. You also didn't mention that you were naked and had no clothes so assume you do have clothing. Yeah, those parent of yours are really terrible. I can see how you've been mistreated all your long life.

In conjunction with your academic endeavors you might want to take an inventory of all the lessons in your life provided by your parents that you just seem to take for granted instead of faulting them for all the things you feel they failed to provide.
No it is not late for you!

Think positive!

You can make it!
Just you need to do something for it and don`t blame your parents for not pushing you anywhere! It is not easy to be parent!

You maybe later understand, they did try to help you to "teach" you everything important in your life! It is sometime hard to "find" your way where to go or what to do, but if you now know what you really want it a great thing!

There is lot of work to get somewhere and sometime you could be some "obstacles" too! But don`t be afraid to "fight"...think (use you brain and logic) and then do what you need to reach your "dreams"!

All the best! Good luck!
Tell your parents you'd like their encouragement and specify how. You didn't mention what grade you are taking. Just go for what you want. Be sure to get a well-rounded education while you focus on your likes.
Some children can be encouraged and still won't feel pushed or motivated to do anything, whereas others will feel the encouragement.
Other children have parents who take it too far and push too hard with a subject that the child would not have wanted to do and turns them off of it or makes them feel forced to do it to please the parents.
There are some children who don't do what their parents want, regardless of what they do or don't do. These children go on to do what their parents don't want them to do and eventually learn from their own mistakes.
No it's not too late, and you're still young yet. Set up an appointment with your school guidance counselor on what you should do, ask your parents for their advice and take it into consideration, check out as many colleges as you can and visit them to talk with students, teachers, and counselors there to talk about what you need as far as classes, study and play hard, have extracurricular activities and clubs that will look good for college records, and keep at it. Take testing to determine which route you should take career-wise. If something is getting you down, keep at it, or try a new approach, but don't give up. Grades 9-12 are important for college: G.P.A., attendance, S.A.T.s, academic and after school activities. Even if you totally goof and waste your time in college, you can always go back and get a different degree; many people go back even at older ages nowadays and do total career changes. When you start to feel like your life is a waste, keep pushing yourself to succeed and think about what you have and are about to accomplish.
no
just starting hon
you're in the race still
be happy you can do what everyone else does and encourage yourself now and even your parents as it seems they were never encouraged themselves
Of course its not too late.
There are many middle aged people who go back to university and turn their lives around.
At 15 you are just starting out on your life.
No, you aren't too late.

I didn't start studying psychology until I was 27.

You are at a point in your life where everything is changing. Hormones are coursing through your body and brain and you literally don't know where you are. You are undergoing developments to your body and brain, which will change you into the young adult that you will shortly be.

Everything you are experiencing, including the angst and frustration is perfectly normal. We all went through it ! I went through it! Keep calm!

It is good that you are interested in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, you should unashamedly pursue this interest, no matter what anyone says to you, or how they try to discourage you.

How can you say you have wasted your life at 15?! You are just at the beginning of a long road, just take it one step at a time, have faith in your own abilities and be prepared to work three times harder than anyone else.

My bet is that you will get there! This life is not a rehearsal; - go for it!
